- Nota:
- Charles Dibdin (1745-1814) was an English composer, musician, dramatist, novelist, singer and actor. With over 600 songs to his name, for many of which he wrote both the lyrics and the music and performed them himself, he was in his time the most prolific English singer-songwriter. He also wrote about 30 dramatic pieces, including the operas The Waterman (1774) and The Quaker (1775), and several novels, memoirs and histories.
See also record 10H02 for a collection of 89 songs, mostly on the theme of the sea, many from Dibdin's own mono dramatic entertainments.
